In 2011 in the U.S., the 11th Annual Submarine Races were held with teams from all over the world competing. A french team from Nice together with their industry partners participated in the Race that was held at Bethesda Naval Surface Warefare Center and won the Innovation award for an underwater vehicle equipped with a wide scuba maneuverability. The submarine is known as Scubster.

From 2011 to 2015 the team has developed with their partners the second version named the Scubster Nemo with an electric drive and a range of 2 hours. This one cool personal submarine.

Scubster is an all electric submarine

In July 2015 we carry out successfully the first dives demonstrating our technological strengths and maneuverability

This team is now applying for funding on Kickstarter to allow them to develop an even more efficient Scubster for scientific and archaeological research, and for various diving missions.
